Everyone loves Mookie Betts, myself included. But everyone has also been very quick to point out Betts’ apparently ‘blocked’ path to the Major Leagues. Most Boston fans probably love Dustin Pedroia just a little bit more and they know that...

The 2014 season has been hard on the Red Sox to start with, but the 10-game losing streak was a low that not even the Bobby Valentine lead 2012 Red Sox reached. While the team is still below .500 and still in last place in the AL East, they were finally able to secure...

An odd thing happened in the Portland Sea Dog’s game last Sunday. Top prospect Mookie Betts started in center field in that game, instead of his normal second base. With Jackie Bradley Jr. and Grady Sizemore struggling, this raises the question of whether the Red Sox...

After losing in walk-off fashion on Tuesday night, the Red Sox offense pushed across 9 runs and handily defeated the Minnesota Twins in game 2 of the series. David Ortiz remained locked in at the plate, as the hulking DH enjoyed his second consecutive two home run...

Despite their best efforts, the Red Sox failed to complete a comeback over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. After Jake Peavy put the team in an early hole by allowing 6 runs in 4.1 innings, the Red Sox bats battled back and knotted the game at 6 in the seventh inning....

Aside from nearly getting no-hit by Yu Darvish on Friday night, the Red Sox 3 game series in Texas was another step in the right direction. Jon Lester took the hill for Boston on Saturday, and allowed 3 runs over 7 innings of work. In support of Lester, Shane...

Thankfully, April is over (although May has been far from kind to us so far). The Red Sox ended the opening month of the 2014 season with a sub .500 record at 13-14. Now, the team that came into this season wanting to “Turn the Page” is heading into a new...
